I would use format_html.

Furthermore, you’ll need to add record as a parameter to the render function, which allows you access its other attributes:

class AmazonColumn(tables.Column):
    amazon_url = '<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&index=digital-music&keywords={artist}-{title}">Amazon</a>'

    def render(self, record):
        return format_html(self.amazon_url, artist=record.artist.name, title=record.title)

You might have to set empty_values=() where you instantiate the AmazonColumn in your table.
